THUMB
RECORDS
Independent label: Thumb Records was based in Guildford
and owned by Tony Leach. Catalogue numbers suggest that Thumb issued at
least six records but I have only been able to track down five of them, and four
of those were albums. LPs and singles shared the same TR-000 numerical
series. TR-001, a Various Artists LP entitled 'Who Invited Them?' came out
in 1978 and featured four bands: Headwaiter, House, Poker, and the Jackie Lynton
H.D. Band. The latter provided the label with what appears to be its only
single, 'Dan (The Hedgehog Song)', which was numbered TR-003, and it came out in
1979. Apparently its 'B' side, 'Farting With The Famous', was co-written
by Rick Parfitt, of Status Quo. Jackie Lynton bands were also responsible
for two LPs, 'Till We're Blue In The Face' (TR-002; 1979) and 'White Line'
(TR-006; 1983), with Mainline's 'Where We Are Now' (TR-004; 1981). Thumb Records
